What?
Yes, Phlab. Thought that might be the preferred/RHP tos correct manner to communicate matters involving a degree of delicacy. Here goes anyway, in the interest of protecting your sacrosanct touch-me-not Iggy List as well as conversational timeliness. Believe my motivations were more or less subliminal and were operative on several levels: (1) Macro... Struck daily, as perhaps you are too, with the rampant incivility of life in 2009 in general and specifically on the media. (2) Micro... Almost impossible not to notice the well intentioned yet frivolous newbie dumbing dumb of the general forum during recent weeks and the diminished participation of established members. (3) Personal... My dear friend (and it still beats the hell out of me as to why) Sir Seitse seems to be, simultaneously, going through an unusually deep bleed of his monthly cycle/usual spate of orificial fixation and bodily fluid shock jock threads. Guessing that my bottom line motive was probably to attempt to restore a measure of balance in order to maybe help prevent the boat from capsizing.

P-
Phlabibit, if that is the best you can conjure up by way of objective explanation you are seriously

belly up and dead in the water. I'm a down to earth guy who's well aware of his own shortcomings

and convinced many if not most of the 'problems' we experience are our own self induced misery.

Who knows. None of us are mind readers. Maybe the gal just likes to tease.

Why make a big posting production? Just open your mouth and ask her.

Guess maybe not. Perhaps became a little distracted reminiscing on

twenty six (26) of my old well posted to but dear departed threads.

First Grade Primer: #1. To always pay your debts on time (responsibility/meeting deadlines). #2. To not welsh on obligations (keeping your word). #3. To never hurt your friends (thoughtfulness). #4. To never kiss and tell (respect for the selfhood and privacy of others). #5. To obey the 11th Commandment whi ...[text shortened]... f (commonsense). #6. To think 'please' and 'thank you' (manners).



(to be continued)[/b]
By the way - you can't welsh on obligations. You can weltch on a bet, but I'm pretty sure any Welshman will tell you that 'welsh' is not a verb.

Also - where do you get your cane-waving, antideluvian nonsense from? Do they publish a book for ridiculous old guys? Do you have to pay €7.50 or do you get it free when you join?

How long can you possibly pay money to piss everyone here off? Doesn't it get boring? How's the whittling? Is the new hotness not only inaccessible, but grumbled against ("You kids reduce your decibals!"😉?

How much longer do you think you have? Perhaps you should invest the time in something useful. You know, as opposed to being preachy and wrong on a website primarily filled with the mathematically or scientifically (and I know someone will tell me math is science) minded, would you not just go down to the VA and annoy your Korea buddies?
